AntiVirus Sentry

Antivirus Sentry is a phony antivirus software, also known as a rogue antivirus application. Antivirus Sentry is made by the same jerks who made other dangerous rogues including Vista Antivirus and MS Antivirus.

Antivirus Sentry is advertised and installed through the use of Trojans that display fake security alerts stating that the computer is infected or being attacked. It will then proceed to either tell you that you should install Antivirus Sentry to protect yourself or automatically install it without your permission. Once Antivirus Sentry is installed it will be configured to start automatically when you logon to your computer, which can cause the computer to become very slow and sluggish. Antivirus Sentry will perform a system scan and state that the computer is infected with a variety of malware that cannot be removed unless Antivirus Sentry is purchased. These infection are either fake or are the actual Trojans that installed the program in the first place.
